NFL Trivia Question (This May Surprise You)

[On the Road]

For you fans of football history:

The NFL's first season was in 1920. Only one of the original teams is still playing in 2004 under the same team name.

Without looking, which team is it? They may or may not play in the city they were founded in, but the team name (for example, the Yankees) is the original name.

I will post the answer at 12:45 Eastern.

15. I know this, for some reason.

I can tell you it's not the Packers, not the Bears, not the Lions nor the Steelers nor the Rams.

The team used to be in St. Louis and Chicago and was originally from Kenosha or Madison, I think.
